Automobile - the most complex electronic device an individual can own，It requires more computer power than a space shuttle. Its complexity and precision have evolved and changed dramatically over the decades.

Open the hood of a car and you'll see wire harnesses and connectors. They are the "meridians" of the car, which together constitute the electrical architecture of the car and carry the important role of data and signal transmission and connection of the car.

To be precise, wiring harnesses require connectors, and connectors are not just for wiring harnesses. In the body of the body that cannot be seen easily, the connectors of different functions are like "Bridges" to ensure the normal operation of each car.

The total length of wiring harness contained in a large luxury car is about 4000 meters. So how many connectors are there in a car?

First, let's turn the clock back to the 1950s and relive the evolution of the electrical architecture of cars. It has been more than 70 years since the technological explosion of electrical architecture. It all starts with a 1957 Chevy Bel Air.

The Chevrolet Bel-Air was inspired by the F-7U (Scimitar) aircraft in service with the U.S. Navy. To this day, the Chevy Belair looks edgy, but the electrical system is too simple to match the pegasus.

However, with the rapid development of electronic technology in the third industrial Revolution, the inflection point of automotive electrical architecture evolution has arrived. In this era of technological explosion, automotive electrical and electronic systems have made great strides in each decade.

In the 1950s, there were few components, no electronics, and even fabric insulation was the standard.

In the 1960s, an increase in audio and lighting equipment led to an increase in connectors, and glass tube fuses became standard protection.

In the 1970s, the rise in emissions requirements led to the emergence of electronic modules, which placed professional requirements on connectors and electrical systems.

In the 1980s, the increasing use of electricity posed a greater challenge to automobile assembly, and electronic integration drove the development of electrification.

In the 1990s, knowledge of professional architecture evolved into a "science" and complexity management became the focus of automotive assembly plants.

In the 2010s, the automobile entered the era of interconnection and safety, with the rapid development of high-power systems and the emergence of high-voltage wiring harnesses and connectors.

In the 2020s, there are now as many as 2,200 terminals and 280 plastic case connectors in a car to ensure proper operation.

New systems are beginning to push through airborne limitations, and advanced communications technology (5G) is enabling connectivity in cars.

In the 2030s, the automotive electrical architecture can be described as "highly integrated", and the car will become a super mobile mobility tool integrating safety, green and connectivity.

As people on the car in safety, environmental protection, comfort, wisdom and so on

Increasingly demanding, increasingly used automotive electronics,

This will be an increase in the number of automotive connector applications and look forward to more advanced connector technologies!
